Please join me in remembering a great icon of the entertainment community. The 
Pillsbury Doughboy died yesterday of a yeast infection and trauma complications 
from repeated pokes in the belly. He was 71 and rollin' in dough. 

Doughboy was buried in a lightly greased coffin. Dozens of celebrities turned 
out to pay their respects, including Mrs. Butterworth, Hungry Jack, the 
California Raisins, Betty Crocker, the Hostess Twinkies, and Captain Crunch. 
The grave site was piled high with flours. 

Aunt Jemima delivered the eulogy and lovingly described Doughboy as a man who 
never knew how much he was kneaded. Born and bread in Minnesota, Doughboy rose 
quickly in show business, but his later life was filled with turnovers.  He was 
not considered a very smart cookie, wasting much of his dough on half- baked 
schemes. Despite being a little flaky at times, he still was a crusty old man 
and was considered a positive roll model for millions. 

Doughboy is survived by his wife Play Dough, three children: John Dough, Jane 
Dough and Dosey Dough, plus they had one in the oven. He is also survived by 
his elderly father, Pop Tart. 

The funeral was held at 3:50 for about 20 minutes. 

If this made you smile for even a brief second, please rise to the occasion and 
take time to pass it on and share that smile with someone else that may be 
having a crumby day and kneads a lift.
